Relationships: What Did Your Boyfriend Wear for Your First Date?

Last week we chatted about what we all did on our first dates. I’d love to take another stroll down memory lane and ask more about the first time you went out with your beau. Do you remember what he was wearing?

We’ve gossiped about what we wore for our first dates; my top was way more revealing than I would have liked! And we’ve talked about what sort of outfits dudes should wear for summer dates. But what your boyfriend? Was he sharply dressed?

Mine was not. When Chris picked me up for our first date, he wore a variation of an outfit I’d seen him wear to class a dozen times before. He wore a green graphic tee under an ivory button down shirt with jeans and sneakers. Though I was wearing jeans too, I felt super overdressed (in my dressy jeans, top and new pretty flats) and wondered if he thought we were actually going on a date or just hanging out as friends. I reasoned (mind you I was just 21!) that if he really were interested in me, he would have dressed up a bit more. However, as the night went on, I could tell that there was definitely a spark.

My dears, what did your boyfriend wear for your first date? Were you impressed by his sartorial choices? Or did you expect him to dress up a bit more? And what do you think guys should wear for first dates? Jeans? Slacks?
